This review was emailed to us by a JerkishBehavior fan and it passed our standards, so here is a music review on Lupe Fiasco's latest mixtape by Sycosis.
Chicago's own Lupe Fiasco recently ended his music hiatus and gave his starving fans some new music to enjoy coincidentally this mixtape dropped on Thanksgivings so here's a quick review.
01 Intro
02 The National Anthem (Radiohead)
03 Turnt Up (Travis Porter)
04 Fireman (Yoga Flame) (Lil Wayne)
05 L.A.S.E.R.S. Manifesto Interlude
06 Angels (rmx) (Dirty Money)
07 So Ghetto (Jay-Z)
08 Say Something (Timabaland)
09 Thank You (Jay-Z)
10 The One (Slaughterhouse)
11 Popular Demand (Clipse)
*Original song by artists in ()
Track 12 is HP Skit which depending on whose track list you check out may or may not show up. Similar to No Ceilings, you wont find a lot of song structure but you will get plenty of qoutables, heavy layered double meaning metaphors, and the multi-syllable flow that makes Lupe one of the best and most original artist out. Also an unexpected surprise is that he doesn’t just pick beats from the top 12 songs out, he goes back a couple years on a few tracks like “Angels Rmx”, “So Ghetto”, and “Yoga Flame”. It might take a couple listens for it to grow on you (or for you to catch some of his lines) but overall it’s a good project. Two songs you will most definitely have on repeat and the mixtape's highlights is "Turnt Up" and "Say Something"
*** out of 5
